Digital Nation II

When we think of addictions technology rarely is the first thing to comes to mind, however can it be one? Digital Nation takes us to Korea to show video game addicted kids, so bad that people have even died from lack of food and water because they would not stop playing. Can we be addicted to surfing the web in the same way? A mother in South Korea describes her 15 year old son as an addict to the computer when she notices his grades fall completely and his attention lack at home. There are camps now to help internet addicted users. They do outdoor activities and try to recapture childhood fun without computers.
Our being connected all the time, has become a lifestyle in which we don't even notice. Children are taught about computers and internet as soon as they know how to read. In South Korea they now try to teach internet ethics at a young age. Schools now, can even require computers. It seems now but to education new technologies is neccessary because of the jobs the educated are being prepared for. Less remembering things and remembering things, and more knowing how to build and create is expected of them. Perhaps using technology in school makes school make sense to students and easier for them. In a school like this, it has been shown that violence has gone down and test scores have gone up, so can it all be bad?
